22 July 2016, Antonini signed with Prato in Lega Pro, the team with which he originally made his professional debut. On 23 November 2016, Prato has announced that Antonini's contract was mutually terminated following his willingness to end his playing career. As revealed in the press release, Antonini will be appointed as a member of staff in the youth sector of the club. International career Antonini made up a total of 5 caps with Italy U-17 and U-18, between 1999 and 2001. However, he did not receive any further call-up at higher levels of youth international football. Nine years later, Antonini got his first call-up for the senior team; newly appointed coach Cesare Prandelli named him in the squad for a friendly against Ivory Coast, to be played on 10 August 2010. However, he was left as an unused substitute. Style of play Antonini used to be a dynamic and versatile footballer who had been employed as a winger in his youth and as a full-back later on in his career. Although naturally right-footed, he could play on either flank. His speed and stamina also allowed him to attack and fall back to defence with ease. Personal life Antonini is married to Benedetta Balleggi, whom he first met at the time he was in Prato. The couple have two daughters, Sofia Vittoria (b. 2007) and Viola Maria (b. 2010).
